Nestor Cortes To Throw Bullpen Session Soon
1 year agoNew York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (shoulder) is set to throw a bullpen session on Friday or Saturday, which will be his first since he was shut down with a rotator-cuff strain in the first week of June. The Yankees have increasing confidence that a cortisone injection will be enough to cure Cortes' shoulder issue. "Everything feels really good," Cortes said Tuesday after a light day of throwing. "I feel like I've about turned the corner from feeling like 'Ehh' to now feeling great." He has stretched out to throwing from 105 feet and will continue to build up his volume before getting on the mound. If he continues to progress as hoped, Cortes could be back with the Yankees in mid-to-late July.
